No liability can be taken for any damages caused by this pro-
gram. Of course experience has shown that this risk seems to be
very low, the probability for a crash causing serious damages
is certainly zero.
If you chose to use this program in spite of all risks, you will
probably get the best FLI player possible for Acorn computers.
Of course MovieFS from Warm Silence Software is a very good pro-
gram, and is also capable to dither FLI files with help of
Replay, but it is quite slower and uses more memory. Besides
it is not for free.
Features
-supports the special graphic capabilities of the RiscPC
-multitasking and singletasking possible
-possiblility to zoom the picture by 2 without big speed loss
also in 32K and 16M colours
-optimized CD-Rom access to use the read ahead cache, this would
normally be the task of CDFS, but it seems to me it is not
able to do this
-support of Dynamic Areas with RiscOS 3.5 or greater
Instructions:
FLIs and FLCs are started by doubleclicking on them or dragging
them onto the FastFLI icon. The main options used for every new
started animation can be adjusted and saved in the Iconbar menu
item Choices.
Zoom by 2 means simply zoom by 2. Only first palette chunk plays
only the first palette chunk. This is for animations that always
have a palette chunk, although it is always the same. This can
save calculation time. Don't cache prevents FastFLI from
caching. This can be useful if you want to watch very big files
and don't want to wait a long time. Show frame numer prevents
FastFLI form showing the actual frame number while playing, if
deselected. This can speed up the animation on slower computers,
as RiscOS is not very fast with redrawing icons. Actual it needs
the same time as FastFLI for drawing a 320*200*256 Frame.
Singletask means that FastFLI will start the next animation in
singletask mode.
In the menu of the anmimation window you can change some of
these options during playback only for the actual animation.
You can also swith to singletask mode by doubleclicking in the
animation window.
Mouse buttons in singletask mode are the same as in Acorns
Replay. Using the keys +/- on the numeric pad you can adjust
the delay between two pictures.
